Students and staff at St. Theresa Catholic School had the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary nutritious lunch thanks to the Fuel For Kids Program sponsors along with a visit from the Maple Leaf CASCAR Race Team. The school was selected by Four Corners Your Independent Grocer Store in Sudbury to host the Fuel for Kids Program.

The race team and volunteers arrived at St. Theresa Catholic School prior to the lunch hour on Wednesday to provide a free nutritious lunch featuring Maple Leaf Top Dogs, Lipton Cup-a-Soup, Mott’s Fruitsations, Dare Bear Paw Cookies and Del Monte juice to the students and staff of the school. Students enjoyed the opportunity to hop inside the actual 475 HP Maple Leaf CASCAR and obtain an autographed picture of the race car from driver Dave Connelly!

In the afternoon, the Maple Leaf CASCAR travelled to Four Corners Your Independent Grocer to display the race car and provide a complimentary BBQ fundraiser for St. Theresa Catholic School. Half of the proceeds from the BBQ were directed to the school’s fundraising efforts with the remaining 50% donated to the President’s Choice Children’s Charity on the school’s behalf.

Catholic School Council Chairperson Addresses St. John Students

Posted on by admin

During Catholic Education Week, Ms. Daniel, the Catholic School Council Chairperson, addressed the Gr. 7 & 8 students at St. John about the importance of Catholic Education and why she has chosen to send her sons to a Catholic School.

She emphasised the role of a faith community in education and how it helps students to build character and prepare for the challenges of life. She touched on the partnership between Parish, Home and School and how each partner complements the other to develop a complete education for children.

Students were inspired by her volunteer work at the school as a way of giving back to the community what she and her children gain from the community. We thank Ms. Daniel, and all members of Catholic School Councils for their commitment and contribution.
